The Children’s Workforce Strategy 2009-13 for Kingston Children and Young People’s Trust sets out how we will support the children’s workforce across the Trust to deliver the priorities in the Children and Young People Plan. It plays a key part in our work together to improve services for children, young people and their families.
Partners in the Children and Young People’s Trust recognise the critical role of our children and young people’s workforce in achieving our vision that every child and young person can reach their full potential and live safe, happy and fulfilled lives. We value and recognise the diverse nature of everyone who works with children and young people and families and are committed to reshaping our services and ways of working in order to improve outcomes and give children and young people a better chance in life. At the same time we want to ensure that individual specialisms and experience of different sectors of the children’s workforce are understood and respected.
A key outcome in the Children and Young People’s Plan is that ‘our children and young people’s workforce will be world class and will work together to achieve outstanding outcomes for children and young people’. This strategy sets out our commitment to the workforce in ensuring they will have the support, information and skills they need to achieve this outcome.
